If you are around and fancy getting outdoors this weekend, come along to Merri Corner Community Garden’s MONTHLY OPEN GARDEN, held on the second Sunday of each month.

Sunday 10 August 10am – 12.00pm

Free Compost Workshop (all welcome) at 11am

Plot holders, neighbours to the garden, Brunswick East locals and friends are all welcome.

It’s a chance to get your hands dirty, catch up with your fellow gardeners and help our garden grow. There’ll be plenty of odd jobs to do like tidying up garden beds and weeding or come along and work on your own plot.

We will also be sowing tomato seeds in the mini hot houses for spring planting and also sowing some winter greens and peas seeds in the communal beds. These communal veggies and tomato seedlings are for sharing amongst all gardeners, so come down to lend a hand, share your knowledge and ask any questions about propagation.

Spend some time working on your own plot, or help with some general gardening jobs such as weeding, mulching, general garden tidy-up and maintenance – there’ll be something for everyone! This is a brilliant chance to get your hands dirty, catch up with your fellow gardeners and help our garden grow.

Plot holders, neighbours to the garden, Brunswick East locals and friends are all welcome.

If you haven’t been down to your plot for a while and need a hand getting it into shape for the upcoming Winter plantings, come down to the Open Garden and we can all pitch in to lend a hand. Or email the Garden Committee on [email protected] if you need some help.

Happy gardening, hope to see you on Sunday!

Thank you to Lauren Keim for the beautiful photo of the pineapple sage growing in our Kids Discovery Garden.

We’ll have a compost workshop at 11am for anyone who is interested. And there might even be some sunflower seeds from these beautiful sunflowers to harvest (thanks to Pauline Ahola for the great shots).

All are welcome, so bring your friends, family, neighbours or anyone who is interested in gardening or putting their name down for a plot. There’ll be jobs big and small for everyone, including:

•Weeding and mulching of paths/verges/entrance

•Kids Discovery Garden mini-bee – weeding, harvesting the last of the summer crops, composting and deciding what to plant for autumn/winter.

•Odd jobs including checking on any maintenance needed, and painting more signs for the compost bays

If you can’t make it this weekend, we run a monthly Open Garden session on the second Sunday of each month. We’ll be doing some general gardening, odd jobs and there will be a mini compost workshop each month. Come down to the next one on Sunday April 13 from 10am – 12pm to say hi, check out how the garden is growing and get your hands dirty!

The MCCG Committee meets on the first Monday of the month at 7pm. The meetings are generally held at the Edinburgh Castle Hotel (cnr Sydney Rd & Albion St), at a committee member’s house, or down at the garden in summer when the weather is fine.

All MCCG Members and Plot holders are welcome! If you’d like to come along to the next meeting, please get in touch with us on [email protected] and we’ll let you know which venue the meeting is at.
